Chapter 24
Silas is lying on the floor. Time felt like it was zooming by as night had fallen outside. Stephen had left him around sunset and hasn't come back. Thoughts raced through his head. Disturbing thoughts as to what he could be doing with and to Sam that made his stomach turn. "I should have listened to her. She had her suspicions but I just dismissed them. She's a P.I for fuck's sake Silas!" He says as he continues to beat himself up. He starts to flail about until he hits something sharp. "What the…?" He tries to turn around in the chair. He bounces around sees a series of knives jetting out the wall. He then realizes if he would have leaned back in the chair at any given moment those knives would have been in his back. "You'll find a way Silas…the answers are within your reach…" Livvie's voice echoes in his head. He looks towards the knives when it dawns on him. "That's it!" Silas exclaims as he bounces towards the protruding knives. He manages to get close enough where he could bounce against the knives and tries to cut the ropes holding him to the chair. He almost gets his right arm free when the chair breaks. "Really? Well at least my legs are free." Silas says to himself as he gets up and tries to finish cutting the ropes off his arms which are still bound to the back of the now broken chair. After a few agonizing moments he's finally free. "Now to get out of this horror house." Silas says as he runs to the door.
"Are you fucking kidding me right now Stephen?!" Silas yells after reaching the door to find it locked. He hits the door and slides down in frustration. Suddenly there is a sound of a door closing. Silas stands up and leans against the door. "Wh...whe...where are we?" A voice softly breaks the silence. "Don't worry my love. We're somewhere safe…" "But why did we have to leave the house." The voice says, growing louder. "It's okay Samantha. You're going to be fine." Stephen says as he walks towards the door. "Sam…don't worry I'm right here…" Silas whispers to himself. "I feeling sleepy again." Sam says as Stephen carries through the house. "Then rest my love." He says as he stops at the door. Silas steps from the door as Stephen continues past the door. "I'm going to lay your down in here okay. I'll be back." "Where are you going?" "I'll just be in the next room. I'm not leaving. Not for a long time." Stephen smiles as he leaves. He walks out and over to the room he has Silas in and opens the door. "Oh loveable big brother…oh sh…" Stephen says as Silas goes running out the door and shuts it behind him. "Silas when will you ever learn…" Stephen laughs. Silas runs to the room Sam's in. She's lying across the bed passed out. "Sam! SAM!" Silas says as he runs to her. "Sam, wake up please! Samantha!" Silas grabs her and starts to carry her out. "Now where do you think you're going with my love?" Stephen asks wickedly.
"What have you done to her Steve?" "Silas growls as he turns around to put her back on the bed. "I've done nothing." "LIES! She's out cold Stephen. She was just talking." "She's just sleeping. That's all. Nothing is physically wrong with her." Stephen says as Silas pushes him against the wall. "What did you do to her?! I swear on mama's grave…" "You'll what? You can't hurt me Si. No matter how hard you try." Stephen says as he throws him to the floor. Silas lunges at him but Stephen runs out the room. Silas runs after him into the night. "You think you can stop what's about to happen. It's already beginning. Both you and your precious Samantha are going to pay for what you did to me. You took my Olivia away from me and she took my son away." Stephen yells as Silas tackles him. "We haven't done anything wrong. This is your entire fault Stephen. You caused this." Silas says punching Stephen. They continue to argue and fight. "Face it Silas. You can't change what's going to happen. Nobody can." Stephen says as he throws Silas against a tree. He slides down the tree as Stephen begins flail him with punches. All of a sudden Stephen is being pulled off Silas. "What the fuck…I should have known." Stephen says as he turns around sees Livvie standing behind him. "I'm done sitting by letting you wreck havoc to everyone around you. This ends now." Livvie says as Silas wobbly gets up. "But you see Olivia, that's all you can do. Don't you remember your sentence?" "Fuck my sentence! I don't care anymore! Silas run! Go get Sam and Rafe and leave Port Charles." "He can't leave. None of them can. Wherever they go Olivia I will find them." Stephen says as Silas runs back to the cabin.
He makes it back to the cabin and hustles to Sam. She is still asleep on the bed when he enters the room. "Sam…Sam wake up please." Silas says caressing her face. Sam starts to stir when Stephen and Livvie runs into the room. "Si…Silas?" "I'm here baby. It's okay." "What in the world is going on? Where are w…?" Sam starts to ask but stops when she looks behind Silas. Already knowing what she is seeing he starts to explain everything when Stephen interrupts. "Samantha are you okay? What has my brother done to you?" Stephen says as he goes to her side. "No….what the hell is going on?" Sam says as she quickly gets up and runs to the corner of the room. "Sam are you okay?" Silas starts to walk towards her. "Stay right where you are! Somebody tell me what the hell is going on." Sam looks on in shock as whichever one they are one of them is her worst nightmare coming true yet again. "Caleb, tell her what you have done." Livvie spats. "Shut up Olivia." Stephen says. "Oh…my…God…no…" Sam says as she bursts into tears. Silas goes to her but she snatches away from him. "What have you done?" "Like I said you all will know soon enough. Now if you will excuse me, I have business to finish." Stephen says as he disappears.
Everybody looks around as Sam slowly gets up and just stares at Silas. "Sam, I'm so sorry. I should have believed you. You were right all along." "Where were you? Why are you bleeding?" Sam asks as she just stands in the corner not moving. "Stephen had me tied up here while he was the one who took you on a date tonight. What did he do to you? Are you hurt?" Silas says as he goes to her but she backs away. "He took me to the villa…" "The house in the mountains? I was going to have that place tore down when I got the chance." "So you knew about the villa and didn't even tell me?" "I felt it wasn't any reason to but that's not the point. Did he do anything to you?" Silas asks as Sam just looks at him. "No. We ate dinner and danced. I started to feel dizzy so I went and lay down. Next thing I knew we were here." Sam says as she starts to walk around. "So you don't remember anything between falling asleep at the villa and coming here?" Silas questions as Livvie looks at Sam, knowing she's not telling everything. "No. Everything goes blank. Silas I'm so sorry" Sam cries as she falls into his arms. "It's okay. The only thing that matters is that you are okay. Now to figure out what he means about he has business to finish." Silas says as he looks at Livvie. "You said fuck your sentence. That means you are willing to help us now?" "Any way I can. And I really think we should leave now and get back to Port Charles." "You're right. I still have to get to…oh shit!" Silas begins as everybody looks at each other. "RAFE!" Everyone exclaims as they go running out the house. "How are we going to get back to Port Charles? My car is totaled." "Caleb left his car here. Guess he was too distracted to remember. It's near the road." Livvie says. "Okay, you two stay here I'll bring the car here. Livvie, you watch after her." Silas says as he walks off. An awkward silence forms before Livvie says to Sam. "You lied to him. Why didn't you tell him everything?" "He's been through too much tonight. I'm not going to tell him that I slept with his brother thinking he was him." Sam says after a moment. "You need to. There will consequences to your actions." "He doesn't need to know. And don't you go saying anything either. Right now our main focus is getting to Rafe." Sam says as Silas brings the car around and they leave.
